CONFLICTING
Alleged Cattle Losses-Whiel Asser-
ton is Correct

BENTON, August 23.-Ispeciai to the
Tribunel.-A meeting of the board OF
trade has been held for the purpose OF
discussing the question of county1ivisioi1.
1t was largely attended by representative
business men and heavy taxpayers. This
meeting was held because citizens OF
Great Falls intend to have the Cascade
county bill introduced at tlis special sess-
ion of the legislature, which begins on
Monday next.
It is stated as the result Of the meeting,
that while the citizens of For. Benton,
without any desire to interfere with the
plans or wishes of Great Falls, do not
consider that Choteau county is in a ron
di,ion to be divided at present, because, on
account of the heavy losses in stock last
winter, there is not enough assessable
property to support one county.
The sentiment Of those present was. thai
if the citizens of Great Falls would defer
introducing the bill at the extra session
there would be NO difficulty in securing
favorable action at the next general sess-
ion, with the approval of Fort Benton and
other parts Of the county, rs it Is believed
that by that time there would be sufficient
wealth to support q new county.
Appended are extracts from the "City
OF Fort Benton" a pamphlet issued re-
Gently By the Board of Trade of that city:
LAST year 1,25o,0N pounds of wool
were shipped by the Missouri river from
Fort Benton, and this season the ship
ments will reach 100000 pounds, which
represents in cash about 100000, the
greatest portion of which will be left
with our merchants for supplies neces-
sary to carry on the business until the
next harvest time Ths growth of the
cattle business has been equally rapid.
In 1880 there were but a few small herds
in Choteau county, where now there are
over 100, 1000 head valued at $3,UO0,O0s.
In 1880 the number of farms in Choteau
county was exceedingly limited, while in
1886 36. 1874 acres of improved lands were
assessed, the same being valued at $3.50
41O."

ssTen years ago the stock industry in Che
teau county barely had its beginning and
now we have on. our ranges 100000 head
of cattle, 300, 600 sheep, and 10000 horses,
representing in value over s4.ooo,ooo;
These are estimates in round numbers and
the a tual figures are rather over than un-
der those given. This statement shows a
wonderful growth in this industry in a
decade. The widest guess would prota-
bly, fall short of the number and value OF
the live stock in the same area ten years
hence. In the past we have heen remote
from railroads and are now but entering
the epoch of rapid development under the
stimulus of that prime factor OF progress

While it may be a matter of regret
that the general public does not take a
greater interest in the observance of Deco
ration Day III the true spirit Of the occasion,
yet it seems to us that the manner Of cele-
bration arranged for by the Woodstown
comrades OF the G. \. K. is after all the
most fitting. The main object of tie day
having been set apart was that the people
might have an opportunity 10 manifest their
grateful recollection of the services render
cd them by those who fell in their eountry's
defence, and pay their grateful tribute Of
fairest flowers scattered to their memory
upon The tombs that dot every cemetery in
the broad land. The more simplicity at
tending these exercises, the more nearly the
real object fthed day is fulfilled, and themore
genuine and heartfelt does the demonstra-
ton appear to be. 1t is better that the day
be observed as n matter of sacred duty than
as the occasion of pomp and display, of iol-
lity and ostentation. The day has degeii-
Grated in many places into an occasion of
h%ilarity, of simple holiday, of amusement
and carousal. b%lotting out altogether the
lessons of patriotism and gratitude which
it was intended to convey. TO the lonely
widow from whose heart a score Of years
of trouble has not sufficed to blot cut the

came that her boy was among the slain on
that fatefnl day at Gettysburg or at Cham

to see the announcement OF memorial ser
vices coupled with that of a base bali match
or a horse race. 1t may he said that the
day should not be made unnecessarily sad.
let it be sad. It will do no harm for the ma
ton TO realize and repeat once in a year the
bitter experience of the past, that they ma
realize the hideous cost of war and the mag
nitude Of the sacrifice made by the last gen

live, and so learn to prize and love the coun-
try that has cost such a tremendous price.

From an inspection of the list OF signers
Of the petition for license to keep a tavern

country friends have a better idea of what

good in our borough, than the residents of
the borough itself. 1t is to the credit Of

sign the petition, toe others all residing

1t is Il pet expression with the rum adyo-
Gates that men cannot be made sober and
temperate by legislation, and therefore pro-
hibitory laws are wrong in principle. But
legislation has power to remoye from the
paths OF men the temptations to be other
wise than sober and temperate. That is
what Prohibition seeks to do. Because 4
man cannot be legislated into morality and
sobriety is 10 reason why he should be leg
islated into drunkenness by the legalizing
and licensing Of the rum business, and the
inevitable temptation thus thrown around
him which the business involves. IL the
Legislature cannot make good men it ought
at least to be no party to making them bad
by fostering and protecting a trade whose
whole tendency is to corrupt, demoralize,
and debauch. Ifsome OF the ideas We have
heard advanced in defence of the rum bus
mess, or rather in apology, for it has no de-
fence, were carried ont the result weuld be
that We should see introduced into the leg
islature some day a bill like this:
"Be it enacted, That the Ten Command
ments, as originally published on Mount
Sinai. having up TO this time failed to pro
hibit'' and prevent the various offences
therein enumerated, the said Ten Com
mandments, commonly called the Deea-
logue, are hereby repealed, and from and
after the passage of this Actshall be deem
ed and taken to be of no further force OF
effect.
Men cannot be made good by act of leg
i%slature, but on the other hand no act OF
Legislature can rightfully set aside the ev-
~erlasting principles of Righteousness which
lie at the foundation of all good govern
ment, and y Of those principles is that
the State has no right to legalize or encour-
age, and ought to use its utmost endeayors
to suppress, that which is everywhere and
always a detriment to the individual mem
bers of the State.
